The plot has picked up once again whew. I wonder why the author made Kira into such a self-obsessed narcissist though. I thought it would be explained by how but it seems we are just supposed to take her I-am-centre-of-the-universe energy as a matter of course. It’s like reading an unironic protagonist of blood over bright haven before her discovery as the base and only setting. Where’s the growth?

Also this girl is prone to dramatics and I’m worried we are about to dragged into her wearisome woe is me melodrama before she is ready to recover from her guilt with another not fast enough “I can’t die and must save everyone” war. Oh Jesus, when will this end

Did we just pause to develop an unnecessary romance between people who still don’t have any real personalities even after 18 hours of audio booking?! This book is too long for nothing - it’s too self-conceited if I may be allowed to say so after this much commitment. Half the fighting scenes could be edited out as they serve no purpose other than the author saying “far too slow” and not fast enough”…

The logical inconsistencies are killing me. Also what type of militaries and corporations are these where the command chain is ignored just because Kira said so? The plot is moving forward by making everyone else stupid and bad at their job.

Also, wish the author found different English to describe Kira’s fight scenes other than “not fast enough “ or “so so slow”. I want new vocabulary 😭

So you mean to tell me that this self-serving profit-oriented crew salvaged this random woman wearing alien tech in the middle of a first contact war with aliens and suddenly found their altruistic inner selves to go off their course to attack an alien ship that all human militaries/tech had been defeated by, without any special tech, just because she told them to?

Also why is everyone named after like a bird?

Though this is lowkey addictive, I’m 5 hours in and I still have no idea where this going and what this book is about really. Will I ever finish 😭
